And just for fun - I'll buy lunch for anyone that can guess what I ended up ordering

talking tires?
I spent awhile researching wide tires for my hybrid. Ordered 2nd set of wheels. One for road and one for trail.
Road settle on 28mm slicks. Off road was hard not much selection for 29 X 2.0 or less size.
Finally decided to pull the trigger on 2.1 for the fronts.
Here is what's on order should be here on Friday.
Front / IRD Fire XC Pro (29 Inch) Black 2.1
Rear / Panaracer Fire Cross Tire 700 X 45

If the 2.1 doesn't fit right either trim the knobs or go with another fire Cross
new term for this: MonsterCross

Let's see what happens in another week
